Gomoku × Special Abilities — A board game where you read each other's invisible moves

Cyber Gomoku's neon game board. Cyan and magenta stones and bomb items are placed.
Cyber Gomoku is an original Gomoku that incorporates the ability to hide, destroy, and search information on the board.

What is Cyber Gomoku?

Gomoku's easy-to-understand method of arranging 5 of your stones either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally remains the same. This is a browser game originally developed by this site that adds three abilities: ``Stealth Go Stone'', ``Go Stone Bomb'', and ``Stone Radar''.

Normal Gomoku is a perfect-information game where both players share all the information on the board. In Cyber Gomoku, there are stones that are invisible to the opponent and bombs that change the board, so Instead of just counting the stones you can see, you need to deduce the opponent's aim and unidentified locations. For those who know the basics and those who are trying Gomoku for the first time, It was designed with the goal of delivering a reading experience that can only be achieved digitally, where the situation changes with each move.

3 special abilities

Abilities are powerful, but using them doesn't guarantee victory. It's important to think about the information you give your opponent, when to use it, and how you exchange it for regular stone placement opportunities. In an actual game, the very fact that you preserve your abilities puts pressure on your opponent.
